Ac failure of newer Chevrolet vehicles. Ac loses freon due to poor design and manufacturing of ac system. Freon leaks into environment uncontrolled. If you continue to add freon to bandage faulty parts, all you do is continue to lose freon into the environment. General Motors knows of this failure, but yet does nothing about it. It is happening across several of their vehicle's. leaks are bad enough that ac system only operates for a couple of days until it needs recharging.

I made a turn at an intersection going 0mph to 10mph (low speed) and the engine shut down. Luckily I had a enough momentum to clear the intersection and not get T-boned. I was able to put the vehicle into neutral and start it again to drive off. No dash lights came on and I still had power steering indicating the key was still in the on position. I believe this is not an uncommon problem as there are at least 2 other reports of this happening in the NHTSA data base with this particular trucks year, make and model. That means there are now 3 complaints out of 10 relating to this very problem under the category of engine for this trucks year make and model. There are also more reports of this happening on various forms around the internet but have not been reported to the NHTSA. I bought this vehicle used from a car dealership 2 months ago with 47,000 miles on it and this incident happened at the 50,000 mile mark. I have called the dealer ship to see if there was any know knowledge of this happening to other people or any service bulletins out there relating to this issue but have not received a call back yet.

Issue 1 - transmission: The Chevrolet Silverado has a 6-speed transmission that clunks / hard shifts (very hard). GM indicates that this is normal and/or the transmission is adapting to your driving style. The clunk is very distraction (startling) when driving. The transmission also hesitates in selecting gears. This is very dangerous when attempting to accelerate into traffic. On two occasion, I attempted to merge on to the interstate and the delayed transmission engagement almost resulted in a collision. Issue 2 - engine: The Chevrolet Silverado has an active fuel management that drops the truck down to 4 cylinders. When this occurs, the entire truck will vibrate / reverberate causing headaches. Google "Chevy shakes".
